Things you should know

 

1 Debit Mastercard: You need to be at least 8 years of age, and have an Australian residential address to be eligible for the card. The debit card is automatically linked when the account is opened, except for children under 14. For children 8-13, a parent or guardian must order their card separately.

^  Bonus interest: You will be eligible for bonus interest during the month (a month is the period from close of business on the last business day of the previous month to close of business on the last business day of the current month) and subject to transaction processing time, if:
a. your account balance has not fallen below $0; and
b. you (or someone on your behalf) have made a deposit of any amount (interest paid into your account does not qualify as a deposit in terms of bonus interest eligibility); and
c. the account balance on the last business day of the month is higher than the account balance on the last business day of the previous month.
Note: Bonus interest is calculated in the system after 11:59pm on the last business day of the month. Any transaction processed before 11:59pm may impact bonus interest eligibility.


† If you have opted out of marketing, bundled accounts cannot be opened. You need to apply for the Savings and Westpac Choice Youth accounts separately.
